No, Coulson asked them to come up with a solution other than killing him. Which they did. Now they can cure him while he's sedated

Did they need a special gun just for that? Seriously? I kind of doubt it, but maybe. Seemed to me that they found a way to at least temporarily reverse the effects, which is why they focused on him turning blue inside.

I wonder if a possible outcome for the end of this film could result in Steve coming to the inclusion that he needs to reassemble the Avengers since they are the one group that can truly make a difference for the world the right way, as opposed to SHIELD from his POV.

That would handily explain why the producers have been saying that the end of "Winter Soldier" directly affects "Avengers 2". Works for me.

I'd really, really hate it if somehow, there isn't a proper resolution and Steve can't handle **** on his own that he needs to call in friends.

Honestly, if ANY Marvel film should address and bring up to ONE of the Avengers that Coulson was alive and that his death was faked, it should be this one considering that one of the main issues of this film is that Steve has problems with how Fury goes about running SHIELD and the tactics that he uses in order to complete a mission.

It would be a great source of tension between them and we could establish that Steve later told the other avengers afterwards about it.

So based on what we know so far, do you guys think that the threat level for this film will be similar to the one presented in Iron Man 3, where the safety of the Country is involved, or will this film have a global scale level of threat going on for it?

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm wondering where you came up with this idea? Everything I've seen says to me that Steve is *on* Fury's side. Yeah, he questions his methods sometimes, but everything in the set visits we've seen so far tend to indicate that Fury gets kicked out/goes on the run from SHIELD in a power shake-up, and Cap and Widow go rogue to help him escape and clear his name.
